It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located.

But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

The church dates from the 13th century. It was restored in 1844 with a contribution from the Queen Dowager, Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen of £20 and reopened on 23 December 1844.

The church has the distinction of possessing what is likely the oldest complete stained glass window in an English parish church. The Romanesque figure of an Archangel is believed to date from the early 12th century and clearly originally designed for a small Norman window opening (likely lost during later alterations) and is now reset in plain glazing in one of the south windows of the nave.
